Sand, Sea & Sky

So today was a... well, let's leave it at "a day". Today I got to sit on the beach and think.

All alone on the sand. There are reeds blowing in the wind, a beige and green sort of color. The sand is cool and soft under your heels. The blanket around your middle warms you from the chill of the sea breeze. The sun is setting- giving yellow-orange light that hasn't got much warmth left. The reeds make shadows on the sands and blow in the breeze, as waves, far off, swish up and down some meters away. The sky is blue, and little cotton-ball clouds in the sky are faintly illuminated by the sun's fading light. Looking down the shore you see short apartment houses, edged by dunes overgrown with tough green beach plants.

There is a calming power to being alone with scenery and nature like that.
But is calming power enough to fill up an entire week?
